Cold Cave: "Love Comes Close"

We've been following this Philly band's meteoric rise to success over the past 6 or so months, and it's been great to see them doing so well. That didn't really help us get in to see them at the Suffolk during CMJ. Oh well. So, here we are in November, Cold Cave's record Love Comes Close is finally out on a national scale, and it's a dark, highly-melodic, 80s goth inspired gem of a record. Here is the video for the title track, and a special mp3 that Matador offered this week: "Theme From Tomorrowland" off the Death Comes Close limited edition 12". Maybe not as bright and welcoming as the Gilberto tracks below, but certainly potent and highly worth the download. Maybe save this one for lunch time.
